Where are you looking on that link, Bubba? Something doesn't add up. I can't find the figure .09288 on the page at all, let alone in Feb of 2019. Those listed for that time are :0.02185, 0.1889 and 0.03518.
In the BBC article it says that the object is called 2002 NT7. According to your link, 2002 NT7 wont pass Earth until Feb 2035, and that's got a figure of 0.06330 AU.
[Edit- found it]

Yeah, I did find it, but not on the first page you linked, except in 2035. I found it on the page that that page links to. Now it seems to be back. Odd.

You know, the first time I heard about one of these things, I lost sleep over it for weeks, imagining what it would be like if it really did hit us. When I saw the link to that article on the FT homepage, my first reaction was, "Oh. Another one, eh?" I almost didn't bother to click on it.
The "boy who cried wolf" effect is alive and well.

Nasa has downgraded it. We'll have to wait till 2060 for Armageddon.

Besides Authur C. Clark [which I'd mentioned it before], here's another "meteor will smashed into earth by 2019" prophecy and it came from Austin Powers in Goldmember trailer.
Just keep on eyes and ears open on what Dr. Evil said about the Earth and a meteor on that clip.
